I Still Know What You Did Last Summer Page #14

JULIE:

Get used to it.

NANCY:

Who's doing this?

TYRELL:

(friendly)

Don't even get her started...It's a

long, long story and you probably

wouldn't believe a word of it.

Tyrell moves as he talks, fed up and exhasted. He crosses past the

stove and under a huge hanging rack of pots and pans.

TYRELL (cont'd)

I mean, all I know for sure is this

is the worst vacation of my life...

I'm tired, and I'm hungry, and I

personally haven't seen one damn

psycho killer...

THWACK! A STEEL HOOK

sinks deep into the base of Tyrell's shaved skull, a look of abject

surprise on his face.

The women freeze as Tyrell dances like a marionette before being

hoisted up and hung on the rack like a used saucepan.

THE FISHERMAN:

is in the vent above the stove. He stares out at them from the hood of

his slicker.

Ben jumps from the range onto the floor. Karla is in shock. Julie

yanks her and they flee.

As she goes, Julie picks up

A LOOSE KNIFE:

and hides it in her back pocket.

CUT TO:

74EXT. OFFSHORE ON FERRY - NIGHT

Ray pilots the boat through the dark, choppy water. He's navigating by

compass, maps spread before him. He sees something off the bow --

A BOAT:

drifting on the fast sea. The words "Tower Bay" are painted on the

side. Ray pulls alongside and discovers the boat is empty.

He reaches for the radio.

RAY:

(into radio)

Come in...This is Summer Breeze

requesting emergency assistance for

Tower Bay island. I repeat...This

is Summer Breeze...

Ray guns the boat away.

SMASH CUT TO:

75INT. HOTEL FOYER - NIGHT

Julie, Karla, and Nancy run into the lobby. The storm is WAILING

outside the front doors.

They pause for a second. Behind them we hear the rapid THUD-THUD-THUD

of Ben's boots.

Nancy goes straight to a desk and pulls out a flashlight. She points

to the main staircase.

NANCY:

I know where we can hide.

76INT. HOTEL STAIRCASE - CONTINUOUS

The women run up the stairs. Behind them, we hear Ben's FOOTFALLS

echoing.

77INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS

On the top floor, they race toward the end of a dark hallway.

At the far end of the hall, Nancy illuminates a section of the

ceiling.

NANCY:

Give me a boost up --

Julie helps Nancy reach a pull cord in the ceiling.

A WOODEN LADDER:

pulls down. Nancy quickly climbs up.

BEN WILLIS:

enters the hallway and continues toward them.

ON THE LADDER:

Karla slips, nearly knocking Julie to the floor. They both scramble

upwards --

Ben hits the ladder --

Just as Julie reaches the top rung she SCREAMS --

BEN'S HOOK IS ON HER FOOT!

Nancy appears in the opening and throws a brick down at Ben. It hits

him in the chest and knocks him back.

Julie makes it into the attic. They pull the ladder up behind them

like a drawbridge.

78INT. HOTEL ATTIC - NIGHT

Julie, Karla, and Nancy surround the hatch they've just shut. They

fumble with it --

JULIE:

There's no way to lock it.

KARLA:

What do we do?

From below comes LAUGHTER. There's a tug on the hatch, cracking it

open. The girls pull it back shut, but it's hard to get a grip.

There's more tugging, the hatch bending down; they can see Ben. Then,

the rope SNAPS. The hatch slams shut.

NANCY:

There's no way to grip this thing.

Suddenly the STEEL TIP of the HOOK pokes through the crack...It

wriggles around...Turning...And begins to pull the hatch down.

They try to hold it...But it's no use. They let go and jump away.

The attic is lit by a cathedral window. It's crosshatched with wooden

beams and pink insulation.

NANCY:

Watch your step...

THUNK! Karla's foot goes through a gap between two beams.

SMASH CUT TO:

79INT. HOTEL - KARLA AND TYRELL'S ROOM - NIGHT

KARLA'S FOOT

dangles through the ceiling.

SMASH BACK TO:

80INT. HOTEL ATTIC - NIGHT

Julie helps Karla back up onto a beam.

NANCY (cont'd)

Stay on the beams!

Karla and Julie follow her precarious progress.

Ben climbs off the ladder to a beam. He watches them leap from beam to

beam. His hook glints in the light.

Julie, Karla, and Nancy move toward the cathedral window. They turn.

They are cut off. They spread out against the wall looking for an

opening to get back to the hatch.

Ben feints toward Nancy then swipes at Julie --

He misses. She leaps away. She looks down. Instead of insulation, she

sees a

WINDOW INTO THE HONEYMOON SUITE

She sees her bed through a one-way mirror. Julie stares, momentarily

transfixed. Karla is edging her way around the side of Ben.

BEN:

(re:
the mirror)

You'd be amazed by what you'd see.

My wife with every man on the

island, for example.

(to Julie)

And you, sexy...I loved watching you.

JULIE:

You sick freak.

Ben suddenly whirls and lunges at Karla. He grabs her, but they both

lose their balance, teetering for a moment on one of the beams, before

falling --

They CRASH through the mirror --

81INT. HOTEL - KARLA AND TYRELL'S ROOM - NIGHT

Karla and Ben hit the bed in a rain of glass.

Karla bounces to her feet and dives out of the way as Ben swings his

hook.

82EXT. ROOM BALCONY - NIGHT

Karla backs onto the porch. She backs up against the railing.

CUT TO:

83EXT. ATTIC WINDOW - NIGHT

Julie and Nancy reach the CATHEDRAL WINDOW. They open it and look out.

84EXT. ROOM BALCONY - JULIE'S POV - NIGHT

and Ben advancing toward Karla, whose back is against the railing.

Karla looks behind her, sees

THE GLASS ROOF OF THE ORCHID HOUSE

which doesn't look nealy strong enough to suppor her.

Ben advances, swining the hook. Karla leaps over the railing and onto

the glass.

85EXT. GREENHOUSE ROOF - NIGHT

Karla keeps a wary eye on Ben as she gingerly backs up on the glass.

The GLASS begins CRACKING, subtle crack lines splintering out from her

footsteps.

Ben lunges and swipes at her with his hook.

Karla leans away from the attack and loses her balance, slipping onto

her back on the glass.

She lifts her head. Starts to move...CRACK. The glass is fracuring

beneath her. She looks through the glass.

KARLA'S POV - THE ORCHIDS BELOW

She tries to slide toward a support...The glass CREAKS and MOANS as

she moves across the room.

KARLA:

(to herself)

Oh, god, no --

She's almost to the support when

THE ROOF EXPLODES

taking Karla down into the orchid house.

86INT. ORCHID HOUSE - NIGHT

The roof shatters in an explosion of flying glass.

Karla land on her back.

She's unconsious --

CUT TO:

87INT. ATTIC WINDOW - NIGHT

Julie and Nancy look at the empty space which once was a roof

supporting Karla --

JULIE:

(screaming)

Karla!

Ben turns and looks up at Nancy and Julie. Then, he sprints from the

balcony.

Julie and Nancy duck back into the attic.

CUT TO:

88INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR - NIGHT

Julie and Nancy climb down into the hallway. They are cautious,

expecting Ben at every turn.

89INT. HOTEL LOBBY - NIGHT

They hurry across the lobby.

CUT TO:

90INT. ORCHID HOUSE - NIGHT

A sprawling, steam-filled room, dense with vegetation of all sorts and

shelf after shelf of beautiful orchids.

Karla lies unconscious. Slowly, she opens her eyes.

There's a rustling in the flowers. She tries to get up, but can't yet.

She waits in terror as
